Likewise, younger readers will likely delight in the children who are wiser than their foolish parents. The plot is full of fun, humor, and unexpected twists, but the interrupting narrator got on my nerves (younger readers might find it entertaining). Why I liked it: I usually love fractured fairy tales, and I mostly liked A Tale Dark & Grimm (it's the first in a series). As readers follow the siblings through a forest brimming with menacing foes, they learn the true story behind (and beyond) the bread crumbs, edible houses, and outwitted witches.įairy tales have never been more irreverent or subversive as Hansel and Gretel learn to take charge of their destinies and become the clever architects of their own happily ever after. The basic plot from Amazon: In this mischievous and utterly original debut, Hansel and Gretel walk out of their own story and into eight other classic Grimm-inspired tales.
